Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3rd June, 2018.

3rd June, 2018.

Yep: I’m back at work: on a Sunday, as well.

Not that I actually mind: it’s all hours, after all.

But, boy … getting up early to make sure I’ve posted, for you … ?

Means getting a early night, today.

I’ve got to get some beauty sleep!

Let’s move on, shall we?

“The movie business is very twisted, out of sight, out of mind, you know.”

Tony Curtis, June 3, 1925 – September 29, 2010.

And a song …

Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Have a good day.

*        You know, I’m a huge Terry Pratchett fan, Olga?   In one of his novel — The Last Continent — the locals immediately throw politicians in gaol.   “Because they’re going to do something, right?”   Don’t know if it’s an idea for new politicians, though!   Hang on, did you mean newer Smurfs movies?   I’m impressed, there’s not THAT many Smurfettes!

†        I wouldn’t worry too much, Debbi: I missed ‘bordello’ and ‘harlot.’   There’s possibly a LOT of comments, there!   (It’s worth a go, actually: I think the chap behind it managed to include quite a lot of genuine footage from the various series the actors have been in …)
